I have a relatively slow (satellite) internet connection. When programs reach out for updates or whatever, the response time for my internet searches goes way down but I don't know what the offending programs are and how to lower their priority. Sometimes when I'm working on a WORD or PowerPoint document my computer seems to go off to never-never land which I believe is some background task waiting for a response from the internet.Thanks, Mike1 person got this answerI do too
